Using a calibrated monitor. I've used photobox and been unhappy, pixum and been unhappy, digitaloriginal.de and been happy and now loxley colour.

I haven't seen the prints yet, though, so I can't really comment. Hopefully have them soon.

What did you dislike about photobox? I do find some prints from them a little on the dark side but I edit with that in mind if i am editing for a print.

I also use loxley colour now and find them very good with good advice for colour management too.

For what I've needed to print, I've used Tescos.
They are good enough for my standards at the moment.
Wow, Tescos do everything!

As a second question, if anyone does use online printers how do you mange colour control?

Just interested to see how many pentaxians like to be in control of thier own print jobs and how many use online/local printers.

Personnaly i cannot justify the cost of doing my own printing, and have never managed to get results that match a pro online lab.

For general shots i use photobox, at 10p per print its hard to beat.

Really good shots, i like these alot. I took my camera into town on saturday but lost my bottle when it came to shooting people without their consent or knowledge.

Did the old couple know were photographing them?

Hi thoramay,

I am an IT manager and one of my team designs and hosts websites in his spare time. I will be happy to PM you his details if you are interested. He is very reasonable price wise and would come in well below your other quote of £700 plus.

regards

Jason

Ok, everyone else is being honest so here goes.

I agree with thoughton about most points, especially the harsh shadows caused by the flash. Also the croping which has put the heads so close to the edge of the frame.

The whole shot is a little too busy for my liking with little bits of flowers poking into frame everywhere, i would try cloning at least some of them out.

If this is the shot you have chosen to post, does that mean its the one you like the most? I would be intersted to see a few more from your first wedding.

Do you want brutal honesty or confidence building fluffy replies?
